Last Updated：2025/12/02
A type of shaped charge with a shallow depression instead of a deep cone on the attacking face, allowing the metal plate to be explosively formed into a high velocity projectile that can penetrate armour at stand-off distances, greater than that of the hypervelocity plasma from the deeply coned form of shaped charge munitions.
